* Bill encountering the fake Georgie made by IT. The fake looks like an animated corpse, growls like an animal, and almost succeeds in strangling Bill.

* The DeusSexMachina. It's just so disturbing and horrible (despite being well-written, of course) that any inkling of fetish appeal is drained away into the bowels of Pennywise's sewer, never to be seen again. As the children are fleeing the sewers after defeating IT, they stop for a moment to make a spiritual connection - via their reproductive organs. Fighting IT aged them, and not in any good way.

* '''''[[BigBad IT!]]''''' An [[EldritchAbomination interdimensional being]] of pure torment and evil that transported into our universe and crashed landed on Earth... namely, the location that would become Derry, Maine. IT settles underneath the town, and every 27 years, it awakens and begins to feast on the town's population of children... Why children? Because fear tastes ''[[{{Sadist}} delicious]]'' to it, and nobody is more prone to pure fear than a young child. It will [[IKnowWhatYouFear read your subconscious, take on the form of a nightmarish circus display of your worst fears]], and eventually it will find a [[CruelAndUnusualDeath horrendous way to kill you]] and [[IAmAHumanitarian devour your body]]. And IT most enjoys tormenting its young victims in the form of a [[MonsterClown demon circus performer]] known as "Pennywise the Dancing Clown".

** Stan's inner monologue about It being an ''offense'' to him rather than just merely frightening. You can practically feel his desperate ''need'' for the world to be a rational, mundane place radiating off the pages.
